Oleinik Named NEWMAC Player of the Week

Oct 06, 2009

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Jessica Oleinik has been
named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference
(NEWMAC) Field Hockey Player of the Week, as MIT picked up two key
wins this week, including the program's first ever defeat of
Springfield College on Saturday. Oleinik recorded three goals in
the two games to help the Engineers improve to 9-2 and 1-1 in
NEWMAC play.

The junior's two tallies on Saturday were critical in helping
Tech knock-off defending NEWMAC Champion, Springfield, for the
first time in 16 tries. Oleinik also scored the game-tying goal in
a 2-1 win over Endicott on Tuesday. She now leads the team with 12
markers on the season.

Oleinik is the second recipient of the award for the Cardinal
and Grey this year. Teammate Anna Teruya was honored in the first
week of the season.
